Addington & Croydon Ringers Trip | Norfolk 2024
I'm back from the dead, again! After a number of months with no videos, Frazzle comes back strong an addition to the "Long-Length Outing" series.
For this installment, we travel back to April for the yearly Addington & Croydon Ringers Trip. Our location for 2024 was Norwich & North Norfolk. We set up Basecamp at the Premier Inn @ Norwich Airport for the weekend. The towers we visited on the trip were (in chronological order): Upper Sheringham, Norwich St Giles, Aylsham, Cromer, Holt, Norwich All Saints Antique Centre & Norwich St Peter Mancroft. The latter two venues do not feature in the documentation.
This will hopefully be the start of another regular upload streak from yours truly. See...

    @simonridley6609 8 месяцев назад

    As TC of some of these towers, might I respectfully suggest that if you feel they should or could be improved, that you at the very least pay for it and ideally manage the project to do so. While some of these rings do have character, they support a thriving local community and are the result of a lot of hard fundraising and bloody hard work to vastly improve them from their previous incarnations. Criticism would be more accepted if it came from people who actually had some proven track record in fixing the problems they identify. (I have replaced the badly cracked stay left behind at one of the towers).

    • @Mr_SaltyChip
      @Mr_SaltyChip 8 месяцев назад

      I certainly would lead said projects if I was in a position to do so, and also if they were projects that I felt were extremely necessary. Me saying that some bells weren't as easy, tuneful or possess a particular characteristic: that isn't to say that I think they shouldn't be, or trying to encourage someone to take action.

  • @simonbellringer
    @simonbellringer 8 месяцев назад

    Very much my neck of the world! But poor internal acoustics at Didbrook? Sure, they're a little quiet, but they are perfectly clear. They are also infinitely better than pre-rehang - not only the acoustics, but the "go", the ropes, the rope circle, the lighting... just about everything! (For a comparison, go and watch my video on them). I also question your ears when, despite ringing on a vintage 1911 Taylor five, Elkstone come out as "the most tuneful ring of the day" - again, they are infinitely improved from their recent rehang (and are also the first ring in Glos to be externally tuned... sadly your camera has done them little justice here). Stanway are being rung *way* too fast, a poor piece of ringing there. No wonder "it was quite hard work" - the tenors physically couldn't keep up!... Five-bell ringing is an art and discipline, the bells need to be spaced out and controlled.

    • @Mr_SaltyChip
      @Mr_SaltyChip 8 месяцев назад

      I was probably referring to the volume at Didbrook, can't remember a thing about them. Elkstone seemed the brightest to me, especially the treble and tenor, singing out the best, unlike Cheltenham St Mark which sounded rather thin. Unfortunately this was recorded in my era of recording on my phone so the quality isn't as good as it would be now, so none of them sound to me in the video like they did on the day
